One of the lads is coming back off injury and wants to see how well he can do a beep test.

Two questions, how long is the shuttle run? 20 metres sounds about right.

I take it we do just the normal bleep test that all places do?

I've found a download here - http://www.runtheplanet.com/trainingracing/training/bleeptest.asp

I'd like to make sure ours isn't weird compared to that or anything, or maybe find a download that someone can assure me is exactly the same as our test.

Many thanks in advance.

P.S. We don't have a gym here where we can probably get this info, and a drive to Brize is a pain in the arse, so asking you lot before bothering the gym at brize.
 
Rules
The test involves running continuously between two points that are 20 m apart. These runs are synchronized with a pre-recorded audio tape or CD, which plays beeps at set intervals. As the test proceeds, the interval between each successive beep reduces, forcing the athlete to increase velocity over the course of the test, until it is impossible to keep in sync with the recording.
The recording is typically structured into 23 'levels', each of which lasts around 63 seconds (the shortest level is level 16, lasting 60.45 seconds, the longest is level 2, lasting 67.8 seconds). Usually, the interval of beeps is calculated as requiring a speed at the start of 8.0 km/h, increasing by 0.5 km/h with each level. The progression from one level to the next is signaled by 3 rapid beeps. The highest level attained before failing to keep up is recorded as the score for that test.
The multi-stage fitness test incurs a total distance of 4780 metres in a time of twenty two minutes and six seconds
